However, future championship games may also be held at the newly renovated Joe Davis Stadium. The “Joe” will re-open next week and will host the Huntsville City Football Club’s first home game May 19.

An open house is scheduled at Joe Davis Stadium Tuesday, May 16, so people can see the $34 million renovation project.
